GeckoLib support for MCreator is back! Now more powerful than ever, GeckoLib allows you to animate your entity, block, armor and item models using smooth keyframe animations made with blockbench. This plugin implements an easy to use method of applying those animations and models in only a few simple steps!

Comments
I noticed one problem, if the entity has head rotation set, then if at this time an idle animation or death animation is played in which there is head rotation, then the preset head movement function will interrupt the head rotation in the animation. Simply put, if in the death animation a mob’s head flies off rotating, then when the head movement function is set, the mob’s head will fly off statically without using animation. This problem is only present on 1.19.4 - 1.20.1, and I don't know if this is related to the latest versions of Gekkolib or is it a plugin issue. Also, invisible mobs have luminous elements that are no longer visible on new versions of the game.
@NerdyPuzzle Please tell my why it crashes when i try to spawn my mob in a world. Am i missing some other plugin or is it some kind of bug with the newer versions? Please help. and don't just tell me something generic like "There is no problem" or "There's nothing wrong with the plugin". Actually tell me if there is something wrong.
Ah, the classic 'it crashes, help me, but don't dare suggest I messed up' saga. No need for a standing ovation on how flawlessly you've followed instructions. Let's cut to the chase – drop the crashlog. Spare me the crystal ball guesses; they won't crack this case.
Having an issue with a procedure, Im trying to update the size of a the model and hitbox live based on the Age nbt tag but thing is the plugin just does not want to do it... it just resets it to the original preset for some odd reason...
the math is right and it works so idk man... here is the procedure

I 100% agree, your plugins are amazing!
Oh yeah btw when it comes to your Configuration plugin would you mind uploading the source code of it to like Github or similar as it's a Java one it's pretty difficult to try to port myself with the whole decompiling process and as I know you have some other more important stuff to deal with right now I kinda wanted to give it a shot, cheers :D
